Boost dev here. There should be an Ad icon on the top right to report the ad. Not sure why it is not showing in this case. I will try to block those ads in the AdMob console. Edit: Done

I'm not a boost user, but why does boost have ads exactly? Why don't you just ask users to buy a license a la grayjay? Make it 0.99 or less. This has a few advantages:

  • You'll make more per user than you ever will with ads
  • Users won't be tracked endlessly
  • It's good PR for the app

Also quick question, where is the source code for Boost? I can't seem to find it

Neither boost or Grayjay are FOSS. You've got it all wrong.

Regarding boost, yep my bad! I did not know that when I asked that question.

As for grayjay, it's source available, that's fine to me, there is a difference naturally and it's worth discussing, but I'd rather live in a world where every piece of software is source available and we discuss the merits of source availability vs pure FOSS, than in a world where understanding our software requires days or months of work looking at asm and poking it with a stick
